A Tribute to El Pistolero


First, the legal stuff:

The fact that this is dedicated to El Pistolero in no way supports the notion that the male in the cartoon looks anything like him. It's just that the behavior depicted distills what I, and it's my blog, feel to be his essence.

The author of the cartoon is Scott Meyer. His work can be found at BasicInstructions.net. Google is featuring him on the dashboard page of your blog. The cartoon featured here reminded me of what the Pistolero lifestyle is all about.

And everyone knows that a lawsuit based on a form of 'homage' is tacky. Or should know...

And hey, how terrible is it that how you live your life becomes cartoon fodder? Most of us would give a testicle, even if it was our last one, for that honor.

Touche, sir.

This is indeed right up my alley, in that I am full of scientific ways to not get right up her alley.

I have certainly discovered that identifying certain similarities in the courtship process take much of the joy out of them for women, who don't want to be told that they're acting exactly like all women do in this situation. They'd like to pretend they're different, even if the differences aren't statistically significant.

Also, women don't like to be called statistically insignificant.

Downgrading yourself from the onset works wonderfully. Women have a tendency to feel empathy more so than men.

Although this isn't fool-proof (once you're married, your wife catches on to this stratagem), it does provide (for men) a way in.

Scott Meyer must have been at Camp Pistols and saw him in action.
